Countertops are in! (well, mostly)

The Corian guys were here this morning. Yeay! The shelf piece (that goes on the half wall) wasn't templated quite right and it turns out that shelf isn't 100% level. Instead of fixing the shelf, they are just going to make it so you won't notice with the Corian. Right now, if you put the piece flat on top of the shelf, you would notice a little 1/4 inch piece of drywall between the backsplash piece and the shelf on one side. The other side matches perfectly with the shelf sitting right on top of the backsplash. Typical. They are just going to cut the shelf with a little notch to hide that extra 1/4 inch. You won't notice it at all once it's done, and in fact, no one has noticed that issue to date, except when they actually put the backsplash up and saw the deviation. The new shelf will be installed Monday or Tuesday. Luckily, it doesn't affect the plumber or electrician doing their jobs. The plumber will be in tomorrow to hook up the sinks, install the toilet and the shower fixtures. The electrician is coming Sunday morning to give us plugs and switches. Sadly, until he's here we can't use the dishwasher, disposal, or stove yet (even if the plumber hooks them up).
